PaperCraft Inspirations - Christmas 2014
English | PDF | 84 pages | 24.1 mb

The festive lights are twinkling and the fire is lit – it definitely feels like Christmas! There’s still plenty of time to make cards and this issue is packed with ideas. From the cuteness of the new Lili of the Valley stamps (page 18) to the nostalgia of The Snowman (page 24), if it’s characters you’re after, we’ve got it covered! For a more contemporary feel, give the makes using the new Fancy Pants range (page 58) or Stampin’ Up’s star stamps (page 50) a try.
One of my favourite projects so far this season is the poinsettia garland in our Home Style pages, the effect will transform your mantelpiece and it’s so simple to make! Turn to page 36 for our step-by-step guide. The most important thing about Christmas is to enjoy the season and spend time with loved ones. Have a very merry Christmas!
